Well four days in, and the FTLO Ice Festival @ Gleaming Waters is in full swing! We are just so thankful to be apart of this awesome event. Not only have we found some really nice winter items to add to our closet, but it was just nice to explore the beautiful sim, talk to some really nice people, and just enjoy the festivities. We Are Sporting 2 looks today: the first is a collection of AJA items for the FTLO event, the exclusives, as well as some new items you can all find inside our hunt booth!

The other look is mostly to show off the amazing goodies we found at this event. Starting today, the FTLO blogger contest begins, so you should all go take a look at the entries (while you shop for some awesome exclusives, and hunt high and low for the winter hunt gifts hidden around the sim! :3)We hope to see you all at the Ice Fest!!!

Lately, we’ve been working like busy little bees, finishing a ton of new items as we prepare for a move (hurrah hurrah for the new mainstore, coming soon!) So this is really just a sneek peek of some of our newer items coming out to AJA. If you want to stop by our current temporary store location, just go to AJA . Now, lets get on with the fashion <3.

Recently, we talked with Aydan Darcy, owner and designer of .HoD. – Haus of Darcy, and we got a chance to take a good look around her store. Selling amazingly sculpted jewelry, there is a pretty wide selection of piercings that are some of the most intricate and detailed in SL, and her jewelry is just gorgeous. Her newer piercings ( the Agony,Bitten, Bolted and Bump In The Night Sets) have custom prims on them that until recently, were not properly viewed by many of the newer viewers. But Good News! The newest version of pheonix has fixed this problem, and the jewelry is viewed just fine.Please be sure to visit the Phoenix DL site and update your viewer! If you still have problems viewing the piercings, you will need to use 2.0 or higher from LL.

The mouth tape was made by YaYo, and it comes with 5 different versions. Super Cute, you might just need to mod your lip size to cut down on distortion of the type. The really cute skull bow, and headband (worn in the first photo) were made exclusively for the FTLOH event by SARS!. This style is a bit new to the owner, but she did a great job, and we would love to see more like this. The Bloody Mary from Shush is super sexy, you just might need a lil pastie, you don’t want your nips showing (especially in October, it gets a bit chilly 🙂 )

The Batty Headband is also from SARS, and it comes in 1 bat, 2 bat versions, with or without veils. Battered Bruised & Broken (BB&B) created these really creepy yet cool facial items for FTLOH, the first is the Buttoned Eye, and the other is the Sutured Lips. These are perfect for any Halloween ensemble. The Lace Dress is from Acid & Mala, and it also comes with the really detailed Black Pearl Loop Necklace.

It’s here it’s here! After much anticipation, The FTLO Halloween Sim is finally open to the public. Rhed Rhode (Owner of the It’s Cake Store, and founder of the For The Love Of…Group) has really outdone herself. The sim is beautiful, done all in grey scale, with fully custom builds (all built by Rhed herself,) in a kind of ” Tim Burton meets Steam Boat Willy ” style of design, and it when you tp in, you will spend atleast 10 minutes just staring at the amazingly unique cupcake prim trees, the giant octopus, and the little skulls all over (not to mention keeping an eye out for hidden hunt items around the sim).

Each vendor has made atleast 2 exclusive items for this month long event. There are over 40 designers for this, and for the entire month of October, you can walk around and explore their shops. There is also a sim hunt going on, where each designer has hidden free items around, so be on the look out for them. We will be doing a series of posts about this event, and we decided to start with Rhed’s Store, It’s Cake. She has created some really adorable FTLOH exclusives, and we couldn’t help but share them with you.
